Expertise

No matter your project or industry, understanding the Earth is key. Why? Because it’s risky to build sound structures without full knowledge of the ground conditions at your site. That’s why geological and geophysical surveys are key. From mapping to modelling, onshore to offshore, we capture all the information you need about your project site. This way, we help you reduce risks, stay on schedule, and within budget. Preferring a tailored approach, we work closely with you to make sure you fully understand the conditions at your specific site.

Case study

Potential quakes, potential power plant risks: seismic reflection surveys

When a newly recognised underwater fault was discovered near a California power plant, Fugro was flown in. Our task: discover what kind of quakes and other motions it could generate. Because those could pose a real risk to the power plant.

Lakebed soil analysis for 100,000 floating solar panels

How do you determine the best location for the anchor rods of 100,000 floating solar panels? In a sand excavation lake? While protecting its flora and fauna? A challenge we were happy to take on.

Stopping the leak: how we helped bolster Burkina Faso’s most important dam

117,200 people in Burkina Faso rely on the Comoé Dam. When erosive leaks threatened it, we investigated and created a thorough risk map to help bolster the dam.
